Hi DocJohn. Thanks for the info. I'm Bipolar I. Figured I was born that way. Mom also bipolar. Am on Cymbalta 60 mg. in the morning. It has really woken my brain up. I'm having vivid dreams again, typing them up and taking them to my therapist. Thought Cymbalta caused mania in me, but new psychiatrist let me give it another try. I had become deeply depressed after being hospitalized for having a directional delusion. Hospital shrink yanked me off Cymbalta. Horrible withdrawals. Also have fibro. and chronic pain, so Cym helps that too. Felt myself going manic, but was able to stop it dead in its tracks. I have a NOW button. When this gets pushed, I want everything NOW -- CDs, clothes, etc. This time I talked with my husband about my impulses and with his help I reined myself in.

I can't seem to find out how to start a thread. Can you instruct me?

Thanx,

PegasiNine
